Using the scroll sawIn this step you will use the scroll saw to cut out the shapes. Make sure that you follow your lines. Keep the blade on the scrap side of the line which in this case is piece in the middle. Crossing that line will ruin your puzzle. If it looks like you are going to go across the line turn the piece in the direction that steers the blade in the correct direction. Do Not push sideways on the blade that will ruin the blade and possible break it. Use the holes that yo drilled in the last step when making the 90 degree turns.
